The weather improved markedly on Saturday. The temperature was in the 80s and the sky was clear.
We took advantage of that to do a number of projects around the house. Among other things: we (Becky, that is) hung the re-wired chandelier;
I dug out of the trailer some old but rarely used BBQ tools, cleaned them up, made two trips to the hardware store to get the parts necessary to mount them on our BBQ, and mounted them on the BBQ (we had previously replaced a lot of rusty BBQ parts and the thing now looks quite spiffy); and I mounted the steel sculpture on our mantle.
Sunday was a lazy day with just a bit of puttering, and Monday we returned to our normal routine---including my daily trip to Flagstaff for a radiation treatment. The Monday redbox movie was 50 to 1, a predictable but pretty good film about an obscure race horse that entered the Kentucky Derby.
Tuesday was again a normal day, but we accomplished a lot of necessary paperwork and initiated a lot of phone calls regarding proposed work on our house.
Wednesday, after my radiation treatment, we went to High Mountain Diesel Service in Flagstaff to see if we could find out why we're getting an oil drip on our garage floor. (The local auto repair guy in Williams didn't want to touch the issue.) The assessment was the we needed to get our lower pan gasket replaced, then inject some dye into the oil to see if the dye shows up in an odd place.
All this will take place after this weekend's trip to southern California for a Shelton Trustees meeting. At 260,000 miles, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that something like this would occur. We had dinner at Kicks on Route 66, again. I had the Mongolian Beef stir-fry, again. It was delicious, again. Becky had her usual filet mignon.
Thursday was spent mostly getting ready for our weekend trip. And I made a solo journey to Flagstaff for my radiation, of course. Otherwise, is was an inconsequential day.
